Larger Crops Needed.

To enable the farmers of the ol- der settled States to compete with the cheap lands of the Northwest, 1t is necessary to grow larger crops per acre. Take wheat as an example. On land worth one hundred dollars per acre and wheat at eighty cents per bushel, a crop of ten bushels per acre is a dead loss; a crop of twenty bushels per acre may be grown for the purpose of seeding down the land, but there is no profit in the crop; while a crop of thirty, thirty-tve, or forty bushels per acre, taking the value of ton and a half of straw per acre into consideration, enables us to hold our own with the cheap lands and average small yields of the Northwest.
 We are using enormous quantl- ties of commercial manures, com posed principally of superphos- plates, potash-salts, and a small quantity of nitrogen ins the form mostly of fish, flesh and dried blood. The average well-manas- ed farms on which these fertilizers are used contain all the ingredi- ents of plant-food, except nitrogen, to produce large crops per acre. All the facts of experience and science point to the necessity of more liberal supply of available nitrogenin the soil to enable 1t to produce large crops per acre.
 There is ho lack of nitrogen. We can develop it from the soil, or we can make more manure on the farm, or buy stable manure from the cities, or purchase from the manufacturers of commercial fertilizers, the nitrogen we so much need. But-and here is where the shoe pinches-at the present prices ot wheat, corn, oats barley and hay, we cannot afford to buy nitrogen. The price of nj trogen is too high, or the of the staple crops too low.-American Agriculturist for December.

Don't Print That.

 "Of course you have brought your violiu?"
 No, I have not" said the musi, clan.
 But are you not going to play or do something to add to the en- tertainment of Mrs. Blanks guests: asked the surgeon.
 q had not thought of it, said the musician, but if you will cut of a leg I will play something to en' tertain them''

Scientific Farmers,

The intelligent farmer, who gives thought to his business. finds his mind occupied with matters belonging to the year that Is just closing, while he also looks for ward to the season rapidly ap- preaching. Have there last year been failure with some crops, while others have been unusually successful? We should examine into the failures, not to mourn over them. but to ascertain if they were due to avoidable causes, or 10 natural phenomena beyond hu- man control. We are apt to as cribe our losses to a Higher Pow CT, but are we so ready to credit our successes to the same controll- ing influence? The scientific far mer,n so-called. is the sensible farmer who sees that ali Nature, on his farm or og of it, is govern ed by wise and immutable laws. Those who study to learn what are these laws, and how they can best work with them. are the most successful farmers; they are called "srientIiic." ."-- American Ag- riculturalist for December.

Origin of a Classic.

The June-bug poem is sufficient classic already to secure refer. ence as ''the old sOng.' Yet It has been hefore the public less than two years. This gem has been more often mutilated, mis- quot ed and stolen than any other poem of it's length in the language. There are at least a half dozen ne' gro minstrels who claim it. It's real author was the "This and That" man of the Louisville COu- rier Journal. The June-bug poem is seldom given correctly. In the original and most beautiful version 1t ran:
 The June-hng hath q gaudy wing,
 The lightning bug hath fame.
 The bcdbugh has no wings at al
 Hut he gets their just the same.

THE NEW LEAGUE.
Association in Which Rock Island
viii he Represented.

Association in Which Rock Island
Will he Represented.
The prospect of the formation OF a
base ball league comprising the larger
cities of Illinois outside of Chicago, and
including. perhaps, bordering cities in
adjoining states, is daily becoming
brighter. Messrs. Chas Flynn and M.
d. Hurley, of Peoria, who are in the city
for the purpose of talking the matter up
have met with much encouragement.
They were over at Davenport yesterday,
aud were told by those interested in the
national game there, that if an inter
state league were formed instead of a
state league, Davenport would aban'
don the idea of attempting to get
into the Northwestern league, and
enter the new league instead.
Rock Island it is now safe to say have a
club in the new association. A
number of gentlemen who have been
consid ring the matter are willing to form
the local association and put the club
in the field. The circumstances
are different now from few years ago
when the Rock Island club went to
pieces. Now solid living league is to
be formed and schedules prepared so that
the clubs will be playing all the time.
There will be no loafing and no loosing
days.
With such towns as Peoria, Quincy,
Springfield, Decatur, Danville, Bloom
ington, Rock Island, Davenport. Rock
ford and maybe Dubuque or Burlington
in the league, series of,spirited and in'
teresting contests could easily be, and
probably will be arranged.
